carrige returns in RTF

I have a rich text box that gets data from a modem. When the data in the string is a carrige return I see a vertical line in place of the CR it looks like this | what is causing this and how can I correct it??

make sure that the MultiLine property is set to true.

Is the data added in RTF or plain text?

If it is RTF you need to Replace every vbCrLf with "\par "

hope that helps.......

aer you using the SelText or SelRTF property (or just .Text = .Text & "<text>")?

Thats a good question.. I'm assuming that since the text box is a richtext box that it would be using the RTF format..

Well if you're saying:

<pre>RichTextBox1.Text = "hello"</pre>

then you're dealing with plain text, just make sure Multiline is True. If you're using:

<pre>RichTextBox1.TextRTF = "hello"</pre>

then you're dealing with RTF, in which case you need to replace. I think you must be using the Text property.

When dealing with the Text property in the RTB, new lines must be
separated with a carriage return/line feed sequence. If you will just
replace each carriage return (vbCr) with a carriage return/line feed
sequence (vbCrLf), you will get new lines instead of the |.

I think therefore I am... sometimes right. images/icons/wink.gif
